excited state: state in which an atom or molecule picks up outside energy, causing an electron to move into a higher-energy orbital.
The lifetime of a system in an excited state is usually short: spontaneous or induced emission of a quantum of energy (such as a photon or a phonon) usually occurs shortly after the system is promoted to the excited state, returning the system to a state with lower energy (a less excited state or the ground state).
